Monica Lewinsky says President Bill Clinton should’ve resigned after affair impeachment – Jobsmaa.com

 Monica Lewinsky believes former President Bill Clinton should’ve resigned from the Oval Office as Congress voted to impeach him for lying about his affair with the then-22-year-old.

“I think that the right way to handle a situation like that would’ve been to probably say it was nobody’s business and to resign,” Lewinsky told host “Call Her Daddy” host Alex Cooper in the episode released Tuesday night.

Lewinsky, who interned in the West Wing between 1995 and 1997, suggested Clinton should’ve been truthful about the pair’s alleged sexual relationship as a solution to finish out his second term amid the scandal.

“Or to find a way to stay in office that was not lying and not throwing a young person who is just starting out in the world under the bus,” Lewinsky, 51, added.

The remarks are a first of its kind for the activist who revealed she has never been asked the question.

Lewinsky felt she was being too lenient with the former president and the magnitude of what a resignation could’ve meant.

“At the same time I hear myself say that and it’s like ‘Ok but we’re also talking about the most powerful office in the world,” she said. “I don’t want to be naive either.”

Lewinsky was a key figure that led to the impeachment of Clinton in 1998.
